rather rough, broken plateau, bent upward
in the middle, forming a natural road-bed
from the desert to the Humboldt Valley. It
was once covered with scrub cedar, which
has been cut off for use by the Railroad
Company and others. Some is still ob-
tained in the mountains to the northward.
About 15 miles to the north a high, craggy
peak marks the point where Thoma
Spring Valley bends to the southward, and
from its divide slopes down to the valley
of the Humboldt. Descending 2.65 miles is

last few years. It contains a population of
about 200.

The chief points of interest around the
station are the celebrated

HumBotpt WrELis—around which the
emigrants, in early times, used to camp
while they recruited their teams after a
long, hard journey across the desert. The

Wells.

Wells—is now the commencement of
the Humboldt Division, where are located
the usual round-house and machine shops
of a division. The station is 1,250 miles
from Omaha, and 664 from San Francisco,
with an elevation of 5,628 feet. Owing to

or wells—about twenty in number—are
scattered over this little valley; one from
which the company obtain their supply of
water being within 200 yards of the road,
and about that distance west of the station.
A house has been built over it, and the
water is raised into the tanks by means of
an engine.
